Chapter 9 – A Day off in Rosugo
“As expected, I can do nothing but increase the production of gunpowder”
I didn’t kno much time it would take to stabilizecosts of the girls, were I to sell only soap
Even soap takes lots of time and effort to be made, but, more i the production of gunpowder
For the ti conditions in the camp a bit, but, even there, it will be hard for us to live like this for a long time
I want to quickly build a shop with a firm floor and roof
Luckily, there see purposes A new order cao mine, whereas, the Earl, Donovan, wanted to buy some firecrackers
As for the Earl, he sawforthis out of sympathy
Well, anyway, if they want the gunpowder, then the only proble niter
I need s of animals in it!
Louise, together with her apprentices, Suzanne & Claudia, will be in charge of supplying us withmonster quests near the city of Est, whereas, Lyle-sensei(?) and Viola will go pick herbs
I had to choose people froroup and for niter
“Master, I’ll do it”
“Laure? However, you know that ht?”
The process ofniter is simple, you could say
You collect soil containing appropriately aged dung froether with potassium carbonate (Yes, it’s the fa soap) inside a hole in the ground or under the floor, where light doesn’t reach After that, you concentrate the ain, after which you crystalize the niter
Nevertheless, despite the process sounding simple, the actual labor is much more troublesome
Carrying large a, just how much effort would it take?
For a young girl, it was quite a harsh job
What’s ather hu niter at the same time
It’s a job that consists of smell, dirt, and many labor pains
“I can do it if you tell me hoorks”
“H on you”
The copper-red haired and brown skinned Laure is a daughter of a miner
She is also a dwarf (froirls and pointed ears
I’ve heard about fe physically irls here, she’s probably the only one suitable for this job
Upon teaching her, she generally grasped which soil she should collect and what the process ofniter is Laure wasn’t quick witted, but, she would do her job cal twice as hard as others
Whether she did good or bad, she was the type of person that would i aside, so perhaps, she could cope with this job ofniter that required lots of perseverance
Later, I’ll create a line of production for niter and entrust the rest to Laure
If she can do her job well, I shall praise her However, even if she doesn’t, I won’t get mad
I entrusted Laure with ether with Lyle-sensei
Loading our covered wagon with niter and goods, which the village was lacking of (such as cloths, salt and miscellaneous), we set off for a one day visit
I orried, since I would be leaving the girls in charge of the company, but, I made a request to Louise to protect them, as she seemed to be dependable
As soon as we arrived in Rosugo, we offloaded the iteon and headed towards the Rhod family
Once we stopped in front of this soirl caized
“Sorry, Sara-chan It looks like I’ve been borrowing your horse for quite a while Later, I’llyou lots of money, therefore…
“We don’t particularlyseason, so you saved us the cost of feeding it More iize for constantly using my Sensei, you see”
Saying that, Sara-chan made a smile of satisfaction
Did she treat Lyle-sensei too, as so? I was surprised by such a possibility
Well, to begin with, it’s Sara-chan’s Sensei, so taking hi, I think
I’ up on the paperwork that had accu his his absence, but…
“If you hadn’t brought Sensei with you, I would’ve been able to study letters”
“I see In that case, I’ll give you lots of homework this time”
“Ah, Lyle-sensei”
“Gah!”
I turned my face toward Lyle-sensei’s clear voice who had iht up with me
“Sensei, have you finished sorting the documents?”
“Sorting the docu them to the capital didn’t even take five minutes Recently, I’ve become unable to understand my purpose here, you see”
The very capable Sensei,so
I guess, you could say that working in an office inside a village is si demoted for him
“Still, I didn’t know Sara-chan was this keen on learning It ive her lots of homework”
“Uwaaa, save meee”
Sara-chan dashed inside her house as if trying to run away
After all, she’s still a child, I guess
For sos have settled down since I arrived here
Even though working on a plantation is severe, a fare is quite tranquil in comparison with the hectic city of Est
I felt the urge of wanting to rest here now
However, it wasn’t the right time for that
I had to collect sulfur, create booods to the mine
I too, had becos
“Goodness reatly progressing thanks to them”
What reached overnor, who time
I brought him bombs e As I did so, I was handed over a full sack of Silesian golden coins
Was he at thehalf-naked
I wonder if he’s always dressed like this
“With these, we can blow apart even that hard bedrock that’s impossible to be broken with a h class , so if we consider the tiold coin is cheap”
It looks like Nattal has worked out the best way to utilize the bo it in practice
“I also showed ineers from other mines how the bombs work, but, they were curious to try out the bombs themselves”
“Is that so? I’lad to hear that”
I was grateful to Nattal, since I orried if he wouldn’t try to promote himself thanks to his influence
Noa dee of a company
“Later, if you want to sell your bo the Ye e However, if you plan to visit the royal capital, you better pay enough attention, even to the road”
On iven such a piece of advice by Nattal
I had nothing in particular to do in the royal capital, but, Nattal’s comment made me a bit curious
“What do you mean?”
“Apparently, monsters have becomethe erous”
“Ah, now that you mention it, I think I’ve heard about the royal capital beco boisterous”
“Even the kingdo their territories I would still understand if it was just a caravan ofdestroyed, but, there’s even been ruht up in monsters’ attacks, so you should consider it a serious threat”
I think that the rumor about the bandits, who prey onactive is a scary thing indeed
‘I wonder what the reason for that is’ – I became a bit curious
